ashisnothereman Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Is the actual wharf under construction? Does this mean no fishing on it for now?? Definitely mate! Some old timers rate it as good as squid for jews. The tentacles are the best part. Good bream on it too! yea mate the fishing part is fenced off last time i was there. had a site office and everything. the top of the swimming enclosure is also fenced off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erroll Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 G'day mate, like many have suggested, 8 to 12lb leader should fix your snags. Being in the weed is good. I keep an old toothbrush with me to quickly get the weed out of the barbs. Works a treat. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysondanielgraham Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 The best way to deal with an occy is to put it in a plastic bag squeeze the air out and tie it tight. If you get all the air out they're gone in 30 seconds and no wrestling with them except maybe getting them in the bag. I will try this next time. Thanks for that tip.

ashisnothereman Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 It seems Oz have yet to discover the fine delicacy of occy Oh flattyfinder I'm up for a squid hunting if you're up for it. I've been squidding the northern beaches but they have failed me miserably for 1 year :( Would love for you to show me around. i tried to eat one and it was probably the worst idea i ever had. rather just go buy an eraser and eat that. im sure with the right know-how sydney octopus could be a delicious meal. i heard they sell for $10 ea. at markets.

jerms Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yeah I know it's been tough I've lost a squid jig too! To some sand bags at watsons bay, but I have been catching a lot of cuttlefish fish yes the alien looking squids cousin! I've frozen them for my next jewie session. Mate try watsons bay or next Luna park at kirribili wharf try the 1.8-2.0 grm jigs in bright orange or pink colours with glow in the strip on its belly,yo zuri brand always works for me. let it sink down and give it a couple of gentle twitches every couple of minutes and retrieve slowly once you feel weight, oh another tip is try some s-factor (comes in a tube with the squidgy pro range soft plastics) on your squid jig hope this helps let me know how you go. And remember persistence pays off they are there. Also try using 12 pound leader berkley vanish fluro will help reduce lost jigs if your going to light Tight lines, Shakeel The orange squid jigs ay? I told ya, wait til summer and swim out there and get it =p See you there again soon brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
